Ingress

Europas folk har mellan sig skapat en allt fastare sammanslutning och har beslutat att dela en fredlig framtid på grundval av gemensamma värden. I medvetande om sitt andliga och etiska arv bygger unionen på de odelbara och universella värdena människans värdighet, frihet, jämlikhet och solidaritet samt på den demokratiska principen och rättsstatsprincipen. Unionen sätter människan i centrum för sin verksamhet genom att inrätta ett unionsmedborgarskap och skapa ett område med frihet, säkerhet och rättvisa.
Unionen ska bidra till att bevara och utveckla dessa gemensamma värden med respekt för mångfalden i Europas folks kultur och traditioner samt för medlemsstaternas nationella identitet och organisering av sina offentliga myndigheter på nationell, regional och lokal nivå. Den ska söka främja en balanserad och hållbar utveckling och ska trygga fri rörlighet för personer, tjänster, varor och kapital, samt etableringsfrihet.
Det är därför nödvändigt att stärka skyddet av de grundläggande rättigheterna mot bakgrund av samhällsutvecklingen, de sociala framstegen och den vetenskapliga och tekniska utvecklingen, genom att göra dessa rättigheter mer synliga i en stadga.
Med beaktande av unionens behörighet och uppgifter samt subsidiaritetsprincipen bekräftas i denna stadga de rättigheter som har sin grund särskilt i medlemsstaternas gemensamma författningstraditioner och internationella förpliktelser, europeiska konventionen om skydd för de mänskliga rättigheterna och de grundläggande friheterna, unionens och Europarådets sociala stadgor samt rättspraxis vid Europeiska unionens domstol och Europeiska domstolen för de mänskliga rättigheterna. I detta sammanhang kommer stadgan att tolkas av unionens och medlemsstaternas domstolar med vederbörlig hänsyn till de förklaringar vilka fastställdes under ledning av presidiet för det konvent som utarbetade stadgan och vilka uppdaterades av Europeiska konventets presidium.
Åtnjutandet av dessa rättigheter medför ansvar och skyldigheter mot andra människor, mot mänskligheten och mot kommande generationer.
Europeiska unionen erkänner därför de rättigheter, friheter och principer som anges nedan.

      The report on "Policing Racist Crime and Violence" is based on information collected by the Agency's National Focal Points. The report examines police recording practices, responses to victims of racist crimes, training provided to the police and their engagement with civil society. The emerging data reveals that only two Member States systematically encourage reporting of racist incidents. International police coordination and cooperation with NGOs could be enhanced, while police training is not specific enough to equip officers to tackle racist crime effectively.

      This annual report of the Agency is the EU's first comprehensive overview of racist, xenophobic, antisemitic and anti-Muslim discrimination, and responses to it, to cover all 25 EU Member States. The Roma emerge as the group most vulnerable to racism in the EU. They face discrimination in employment, housing and education - as well as being regular victims of racial violence. Other groups facing high levels of discrimination in many Member States are migrant workers from Africa, the Middle East, Asia, and Latin America. Muslim groups face particularly challenging conditions in many Member States. Also recent migrants from Russia or the Ukraine may be subject to discrimination in some Member States.

The researchers also compared the findings of the 2003 Eurobarometer with results of earlier Eurobarometer Surveys. The research team produced a statistical analysis, written up as four reports.
